A Gentle man and a Gentleman

Back on March 5th  I wrote 'Time in a Bottle" which was about my Grade 5 teacher.  After reading that piece his daugther wrote "I love to hear the stories of how my Dad touched one of his students lives. It really means so much to know that he was as great a teacher to his students as he is a father to me. Thanks so much for sharing this Shelley! When he retired he said that he learned more from his students than his students ever learned from him. :)"
Friday - reading through Facebook posts and Black Rose's texts, I have learned that Brian is not well.  One of his Grandsons and Black Rose are friends.  His wife writes "Going through the saddest time of my life. Please keep us in your prayers". My heart absolutely breaks for this family.  Each of them are so thoughtful. The love and respect of their family members, as well as for others, is obvious.

Today (Saturday) one of his young Grandsons has written "Grandfather , a Father a husband ... My grandfather was the best man I have ever had the pleasure to know . At least he's in heaven now . He will always be loved and missed but never ever will he most certanly never ever be forgotten R.I.P Brian Kenny ♥ ♥ ♥"   

Brian Kenny died July 10th, 2010 at the age of 58.
